Good. I will be doing the other half of the results shortly.

Hey, why don't we make a thread like this:

IIDX Awards 2008

---

You can make this thread if you want but not in here. It's for the DDR Awards 2008 results only.

Actually, I'm very very disappointed with the results. I think it's sad that none of my favourites ever win.

That's ashame but other people been voted for it. Why don't you throw a shadow blade at them for voting your non-favourites?

Personally, I like all the songs you chose as tiebreakers, but I think it would reflect the general public's opinion more if you held separate tiebreaker rounds. Like with the best license song vote; I think there are way more Cartoon Heroes fans than EternuS fans. I personally like EternuS better because of the 12-beat and trance it exhibits, but if there was a tiebreaker round it probably would have lost. EternuS won because the host had his own closed vote among the tiebreakers. But this is still an interesting outcome, thanks for hosting these awards.

I made up the tiebreaker round, if there is a tie on votes i have to choose the winner and that is the only thing I can do and I can't change it now.

Do we vote again if we've already voted? If so, I'll recast my vote for Gamelan de Couple.

Very simple. No

A little disappointed with the nominations for best Pop. Because Waka Laka and Honey Punch are both forms of Happy Hardcore... but I guess I'm being too technical.

Put me down for a vote on Pluto.

The vote is already closed now and you can't actually just vote now. Like I said before. If you want to make your own category then just leave a reply with your name of category except for the ones that I used.

Using words ''VOTE OPEN'' and ''VOTE CLOSED'' is important, so the members might know when to start/stop voting.

And are you talking about the overall best ddr song?

Yes, overall best DDR song. Sorry for not making that clear.

I changed it and thanks for the vote. Pluto's the overall best ddr song is anybody happy with that?

Oh yes. I love it, musically and stepwise. Great choice.

---

I'm not, its actually my least favourite boss song, even though it's good. I liked when the boss songs where 'round 300 bpm. I hope that next boss song will be at 600.

---

Oh shadow man oh shadow man, you must've liked MAX 300 don't ya or others that go 300BPM or 600.

Haha!! HONEY PUNCH owns!!!
